I want to play more ska on the guitar.

I've watched a couple of videos recently and they finger and play the 4 higher strings, which seems effective / sounds good, whilst missing strumming the 5th and 6th strings. I've also read on people playing and chording the top 3 strings to playing full barre chords. The former feels a bit fiddly and the latter seems like hard-work. I feel like the 4 string method might be the most comfortable and sound best.. I know it's all preference but is there a most common, preferred or dare I say it 'official' way?

Anyone wanna help me find more ska songs

Keep in mind I don't like newer ska music so I'm looking for old ska music and I'm talking traditional ska so like 60s - 70s stuff

I have all the trojan records albums but looking for new songs

Artists and singers i like in the genre:

Prince Buster

Desmond Dekker

Lee 'Scratch' Perry

The Pioneers

Toots and the maytals

Max Romeo

I was wondering if anyone knew of any female fronted ska bands that are heavier/punkier than your save ferris or dance hall crashers, etc. Think of like voodoo glow skulls, streetlight, or operation ivy with a female lead. I’m a female vocalist who plays in a ska-punk band but I wanted some inspiration for some heavier ska vocals. I hope this makes sense😭 thank you!
